The folks at Mozilla have taken to Twitter to tease us all about a big​ BIG update in Firefox for Android next week. The details are sparse (as they should be in any teasers worth their salt) only promising something fast, smart, and safe. Firefox development for Android has been steady, but slow, with small and frequent updates to their beta builds. This has many Android users less than interested in their offering, but the old adage "good things come to those who wait" comes to mind when talking about Mozilla.

We're excited any time a big player makes a splash in the Android pool, but Mozilla is pretty near and dear to our hearts. All of us want to see something spectacular, and the furry-necked part of me wants to see them hit it out of the park and blow everyone away, smack dab in the middle of Google I/O. We're watching things closely here, and you'll know just as soon as we do.

I am, and have been, a HUGE Firefox fan for years. It weeks great on my Skyrocket. I especially liked how I could sync with my laptop so I'd have all of my most used bookmarks on hand. Wonder what they're up to?

It use it's own rendering engine same as Opera, other browsers (including Dolphin if im not mistaken) on Androids are usally just WebViews (shich stack browser is also using) with custom UI and extra features. It's also worth mention... Firefox is only mobile browser to support WebGL right now
